ESPN2. Opening weekend The NFL Kickoff Game, the first game of the season, took place on Thursday, September 9, starting at 8:35 pm EDT, with the Super Bowl XLIV champion New Orleans hosting the Minnesota, in a rematch of the 2009 NFC Championship Game, with New Orleans winning. Like in previous years, the opening week's prime-time games were expected to be announced at the NFL's annual owners meetings in late March, but that wasn't the case this year, with the schedule announced on April 20. On March 15, the NFL announced that both the New York Giants and New York Jets would play at home during Week 1 to open New Meadowlands Stadium. The Giants played on Sunday afternoon against Carolina and the Jets opened ESPN's Monday Night Football schedule against Baltimore the next night. For the nightcap, San Diego traveled to play division rival Kansas City, marking the first time that a team from outside the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones has played in, or hosted, the "late" (10:15 pm ET) game. International play The 2010 season featured one International game, played at Wembley Stadium in London. The teams for this game were confirmed on January 15, 2010, with the San Francisco playing host to the Denver on October 31, at 1:00 pm EDT (5:00 pm GMT), with San Francisco winning. The following week, the third regular-season game of the Bills Toronto Series featured the Buffalo hosting the Chicago at Toronto's Rogers Centre on November 7 at 1 pm EST, marking the first time that the regular-season portion of the series has taken place during the Canadian Football League season and the first time an NFC opponent played in the series. Sunday Night Football vs. World Series On October 31, NBC aired a Sunday Night Football game, Pittsburgh at New Orleans, against Fox's coverage of the Game 4 of the 2010 World Series, a practice the league had traditionally avoided. The Saints won this game 20–10. Thanksgiving As has been the case since , three games were scheduled for Thursday, November 25, with New England at Detroit and New Orleans at Dallas in the traditional afternoon doubleheader, and Cincinnati at the New York Jets in primetime. New England, New Orleans, and New York won the games. Christmas Christmas Day landed on a Saturday in 2010. The league scheduled one game, Dallas at Arizona that evening, airing on NFL Network.
